Just experiment to clashed a woman and plant in moving image.

First try of GIFs animation for my uni project. This one was an experiment to see how it work.  - Crossing The Water - by Sylvia Plath - Black lake, black boat, two black, cut-paper people. Where do the black trees go that drink here? Their shadows must cover Canada. A little light is flittering from the water flowers. Their leaves do not wish us to hurry: They are round and flat and full of dark advice. Cold worlds shake from the oar. The spirit of blackness is in us, it is in the fishes. A shay is lifting a valedictory, pale hand; Star open among the lilies. Are you not blinded by such expressionless sirens? This is the silence of astounded souls. My lecturer really likes the flashing tree, as how i did the leaf fall very realistic way.

This is a week project, got to complete it quick, it was about to use the poem from words into illustration, i have to do the abstract and moving image. Once the lecturer set out the poems, us students look through and read, thinking which is reliable. My first thought of hope is nature-related poem, luckily i found one, Crossing The Water by Sylvia Plath. This is the poem: Black lake, black boat, two black, cut-paper people. Where do the black trees go that drink here? Their shadows must cover Canada. A little light is filtering from the water flowers. Their leaves do not wish us to hurry: They are round and flat and full of dark advice. Cold worlds shake from the oar. The spirit of blackness is in us, it is in the fishes. A snag is lifting a valedictory, pale hand; Stars open among the lilies. Are you not blinded by such expressionless sirens? This is the silence of astounded souls. So firstly, i experiment the abstract. With the black watery looks represent as black lake
